I love it when a designer creates a basic top with a subtle twist. This striped button down top from Paige is one of my favorite acquisitions for fall. The silhouette is a staple, but the small ruffle detail on the shoulder gives it just the right amount of flare to make it a stand out piece. This top is so versatile and can be worn with anything from jeans to a pencil skirt for an office-ready look. Today I paired it with my high waisted charcoal DL1961 skinny jeans and denim Tony Bianco pumps. I recently discovered Tony Bianco shoes and I am such a fan! They have beautiful shoes at a fraction of the price of high-end designers. To shop my look, click the links above and below.

A fun fact about NYC is that it can get crazy windy and the day I shot this look for the blog, the wind was insane! Even though I look a bit wind blown, I was insistent that we get the shot so that I could share one of my favorite go-to outfits for spring. There are a few classic pieces that everyone needs in their wardrobe and a striped button up blouse is one of them. This L'Academie version is the perfect transitional piece that can be worn from spring to summer. Today I paired it with my green J brand skinny crops and nude mules for a great casual look. For warmer weather, roll the sleeves or tie it into a crop top in the front. This top can also be worn as a cover-up over a bathing suit. There are so many different ways to wear this classic piece!
